Growing And Processing Sugar Beets

Sugar beet from the field to the factory. The growing pages are the useful ones: it reports soil carbon 4.6 per cent lower on beet ground, warns that humus calculators can overstate demand, and recommends lupins such as 'Haags Blaue' and rotations of three to five years against Rhizoctonia and beet cyst nematode. The factory pages describe chromatography, vapour recompression and thick juice stored at 69 Brix, at a size far beyond any household.
